Live soybean plants for horses?
I board my horse next to a soybean field And was walking him by the field and he reached over and grabbed a couple of plants and found them very delicious. Is there any toxicity to this live plant without the soybean pods for horses?

Mini mare breeding
I have a miniature mare that I would like to breed. She was pasture bred before. I have been teasing her with the stallion and she has been showing signs of estrus now since June! I have been trying to breed her (when it hasn't been too hot) since then, however, she seems very receptive until he tries to mount her and then she starts trying to kick him. She is winking and turning her butt towards him and squealing when I tease her and then, when he gets into the paddock, starts kicking and squirting with her butt towards him. She has allowed him to mount her but squeals and tries to get away when he gets in her. She just seems in season all the time but doesn't let him stay inside unless I hold her. What do you think?

Turn Out on Pasture
This year has been so wet and hot the pastures are very lush. My mare had laminitis last August and I have been very careful with her including not being on pasture since May of this year. I'd like to turn her out but I am thinking the pastures are just too active right now. Is it too much of a risk? I would turn them out at night with a grazing muzzle.

Saddle pads
Is it ok to put a second pad over an ortho felt saddle pad with shoulder lift for a high withered horse? I have a semi-quarter horse saddle, 15 inch seat. The gullet sits to low on the horses withers. I am going to try the ortho pad with shoulder lift. If that is not enough can I put another pad on top of that to build it up? Or is it ok to put a felt/neoprene wither pad right over the ortho saddle pad?
